Cd pale and troubled. "One," said Jailer
Fayette, and the cat fell on the prisoners
bare back. "That ia SORE" said the prison-
err; mot go bard" and the whipper kindly
complied with the request and laid OF the
remaining blows as if he were afraid OF
damaging the prisoners back. at the con-
clugion Of the punishment the prisoner
thanked the whippei for his tenderness, and
nut on his clothes without any 7isibe signs
of pain

The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper IL
the State, and with few exceptions the old.
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS ofits existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni-
cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is SO close
to the great centre OF news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis
patches from every part the world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion OF our own domain as we'll as
from every part of the habitabe globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
pers.
The local department furnishes a full and
complete history of everything that occurs
and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich.
mond and every section of theState, is pub.
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
monwealth are to be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily in
creasing, especially among people who con-
suit its advertising columns before purchas.
ing. That this is self-eyident NAV be infer.
red from the fact that large country edi.
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section of country three tines
e week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of ad.
vertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
darent.

WOMAN VERSUS NAM.

There is a growing tendency nowadays.
says an exchange, for women to unsex
themselves-th is, to crowd into occupa-
tions which have up to late years been oc-
cupied exclusively by man. If women
usurp occupations originally intended for
the other sex, what about the men who are
Shrown out? for it is very certain there is
not room for both" This is a fallacious
popular idea. The question is misUmder-
stood; women have not become manly, but
men have become effemmatc. In conse-
Quence of all their time-mmemorial en-
poymcnts having been gradually taken
from them, women in this rineteenth CEN
tury are absolutely driven to seek some out
let fer their energies, or necessities, in new
lines of work. The change has been so
silent and unperceired that it is doubtful
IL it is generally known, and Certainly was
never planned purposely to injure women
rather the reverse, it was intended that
they should be benefited thereby. While
from the alterations in our social system all
household and essential women's trades are
carried on by men, women have received
as substitute few ill-paid clerkships, and
precarious employments, such as art, need
lework or china painting, which are now
offered 10 them as their true vocation.

her beloved prophet in prayer! And the
prayer was granted, and the day came when
the storm was past and his enemies were
scattered like chan in the hurricane The
reward of her loyalty and love came too
and she lived to zee his fame mount higher
than 1t had ever been, and God spared her
to see her work perfected when they laid
her honored husband TO rest last week in
the silent city of the dead. When the
great preacher lay stricken unto death and
two great cities were bowed with grief,
there was but little sign of weakness in this
wonderful woman While others wept
bitter tears, her eyes were dry though her
face vCs wrenched with more than mortal
| agony. At last they bore his body away
from his home aud they laid it in front Of
the altar where for forty years he had told
his Masters story Of love and hope. No
| symbol Of death was there save his lifeless
clay; all around were the emblems Of hope
and joy, typical of him who said, 'I am
the resurrection and the life." The church
was cmptied and Eunice Deecher entered
/ leaning on the arm of her son, who retired
to the lecture room leaving her alone with
her dead. Then and not till then did the
great fountain of her grief burst forth and
a wild wall of sorrow rent her stricken
heart rs she knew she was taking her last
look on earth at the face of her beloved.
While the tears poured down like rain upon
the dead mans face she bowed her snow
white head in meek submission. Her task
on earth was ended; the work of fifty years
was now completed; no more care, no more
grief, no more pain, no more sorrow; hel
souls beloved as'safe at last, safe from
all mortal harm. She had landed him
safely on the silent shore; safe across the
Jordan's stormy tide; safe in the arms Of
Jesus, and left the rest with God

MARCH %, 1887.
We had little bit of "rapid transit
legislation last week in the Traction mat
ter. Governor Beaver acted wisely in
showing so plainly his dissatisfied views on
the passage of the Traction measure. Re
publican assemblymen and senators act
very nnwisely in matters of offensive legis-
lation. A regard for the leader Of their
party should be n means of preventing
rash legislation. which at most jeopardizes
the common faith of the people and places
Governor Beaver in no enviable position.
Governor Beaver can well cry "Oh save me
from my friends" II am yours for SER
vice." said the Governor on the day of his
Inauguration; and We believe that he meant
1t, True the signing of the magistrates
bill was an error, but as "'tis human to
err" he can be forgiven. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that the signing OF
that bill was necessity, ,accruing, perhaps.
from campaign pledges. Only the men
who are placed in public positions know
the trouble that comes with it. Beaver is
yours for service" remember this, fol
you will see that when he has sailed through
his four wears as chief magistrate of the
keystone State, but few records will equal
his and none will surpass, for honesty and
integrity of purpose. 50 mote it be.
